Kirelenko in Trade talks!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Since we're spinning the trade how about sub Memo for AK and keep the Murphy spin, makes sense to me.
Except for the part of it likely happening.

I don't know what to think of this. I would hate seeing AK go to Denver, I think if we waited until the trade deadline we could get something better in return. On the other hand, Denver would lose Melo before the season even started, it would eliminate one of our main rivals.

I do think Diaw would fit in well as a backup 4. He atleast is durable and we can expect a full season from him.

Everyone needs to realize AK's expiring contract is worthless this year. There is about 3 teams that have trade exceptions that are way more valuable than AK's contract. We aren't going to get talent for AK's deal. There isn't enough players that teams are trying to trade away. And the talent that is there will be for the trade exceptions. Not AK's deal.

AK would not hurt us being on the Nuggets. Once Melo is gone Nuggets are lucky to make the playoffs. They aren't even a threat anymore.
 
Trade him, we can just bring him back next year. Just please get more then Boris. I'm guessing we get some picks too, we always seem to get picks.

It's not so much the talent I have issue with as it is it would be better to keep him and just let his contract expire. Talent wise this is about as good as ones going to get but I'd rather keep AK then pay 9mil for 2yrs

Wait, Diaw isnt expiring??? If thats true then F this.
 
Bleh. I'd rather keep AK. Diaw does not add anything to this team that makes it any better than if we keep AK. In fact, it's a step backwards. Saving money is all this is about unless there's more to it.
 
Diaw makes $9 million this year and next and plays PF, the same position as Utah's 2-best frontcourt players Jefferson and Millsap. (I know Jefferson's played center in the past but his best position - individually and team defense-wise is PF)
If this were 2006 Diaw could play some 3 but he's exclusively a PF now. I say there's a 90% chance Utah won't be involved in this deal.
 
I hope this deal happens so we can hear how this makes basketball sense and makes the team better.
